| Obverse description | Uncrowned left-facing effigy of King Charles III, rendered in high relief with fine portraiture detail capturing the King's mature features and natural hair. The legend 'CHARLES III • BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY' arcs around the upper periphery, while the date '• 2026 •' appears in the lower exergual area beneath the truncation. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of high-quality gold proof coinage. The design is spare and classical, with no drapery or regalia, emphasising the realism of the royal likeness. |
